    Oops, I meant
    An ominous name indeed.
    Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

      Obviously, given that these people I visited were in their seventies to nineties (the 104-year-old chap wasn't housebound, and in fact did voluntary work several days a week at the Day Centre), it would have been a Very Bad Idea to go round visiting them all, giving them a cold.

      As they were carried off I would have been allocated new people to visit. After about three weeks, the hospitals would have been inundated, and the undertakers would be buying homes in Barbados.

        He (the 104 year old gentleman) was always immaculately turned out in an immaculately pressed suit with a red carnation in his buttonhole, immaculately polished shoes, and had immaculate manners, together with an immaculate white moustache.

        He still drove his own car, and brought several people to and from the Day Centre for their lunch a few days a week.

          I'm afraid I'm going to have to abandon you. I have been summoned to bed 'cos I've got to get up in the morning to make the tea.

          Married life, eh?

          G'night!

            I wonder if, in 60 years, people will say of me "Yes, he's quite amazing for 104 - his t-shirt's always creased, his jeans need a wash, and he often doesn't bother shaving"

                If they do, don't forget to say: "But I'm not wearing a t-shirt!"

                I'm really off now... bye!

                  And then there was one... or was there?

                    You might have heard my footsteps
                    Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
                    I might have even called your name
                    As I ran searching after something to believe in
                    You might have seen me runnin'
                    Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
                    If you remember something there
                    That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'

                    Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
                    It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
                    Across my dreams with nets of wonder
                    I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

                    [Instrumental Interlude]
                    Indeed...

                      Not sure Bob Lind really captured the romantic spirit with lines like

                      If you remember something there
                      That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'
                      Sounds more related to stalking than anything else
